Retro: It was hard to choose between Metroid and Donkey Kong

Retro's new Wii U game is Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze but the company's Michael Kelbaugh has said that deciding whether to make a Metroid game or a Donkey Kong game was a tricky decision.
(Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, E3, Wii U)

Really it was hard to choose? Metroid is a no brainer to much Donkey Kong all at once stop beating the dead horse Retro. WTF is wrong with Retro, they can make a killing if they released a new Metroid on Wii U and on 3DS come this holiday, instead we get this game...Again! I am not happy...

I agree. A new Metroid Prime (or any Metroid game, for that matter) would have looked BEAUTIFUL on the Wii U, not to mention all the cool stuff the Gamepad could've been used for. But no, we get a bunch of apes jumping through trees. Again. *sigh*

Well, considering DKCR sits on around 6 million sales, it really isn't that much of a no brainer to do a Metroid game instead. I was extremely disappointed also, but they do an amazing job on these DK games. Everyone is sure to love it. Not the most popular choice as we all had such high expectations, but now that this is out of the way, they better have some mind blowing Metroid (or a new IP) to show us at E3 2015. I actually refuse to believe that this is the only game they are currently working on. We all were hyped for good reason. There is another game that we don't know about currently in development...

I know this isn't the great big title they hired extra staff for, but I am happy we get more DK in our life. Seeing that Dixie Kong gameplay brought me back, and I hope she makes it to the new Smash Bros.

I read an article recently that Nintendo rules the Platformers but I wish it was not as much as I am seeing currently.
Metroid wold have brought more balance.

(But don't get me wrong, I felt the same way looking at the sea of Futurist FPS's on XB1 and PS4... "this genre again.")

That said Retro is acting a bit like Rare.
Able to make Platformers that compete with Nintendo and also able to make action games that Nintendo doesn't make.
This is a good thing.

I am glad that Retro was able to make something they enjoyed making.

Anyway-
Like Ihave said MANY TIMES before,
I feel that they are working on more than one game at a time. Nintendo said in 2012 that they were going to try to make more titles in the U.S. because of cost.

Dk looks amazing but retro should've let another team take over it and Metroid while retro make new ip's. Let retro oversee the two studios while their main force makes something creative, new, and mind blowing!

Nintendo has chosen wisely.

They brought some killer games. X is possibly more amazing than the game formerly known as VS13 (software formerly known as exclusive). I lost my shit when the mecha transformed into a car and it showed that massive enemy (crab for lack of better term). Bayanetta 2 shit on every hack n slash on the market and MK8 is hands down the best racer I've seen. SSB looks amazing and SM3D World looked fun as expected. They are the usual suspects which disappoints but these games are on a level that no other games can reach. On top of that free online, no drm, no blocking used games, no online passes, no online checks, and it has a built in handheld for the toilet, bed, and miiverse is friggin awesome!
